I'm in the process of ripping my CD collection to FLAC for archival purposes.

Now, I would like to convert my FLAC files to MP3. I've read that the best way to do this is to use Foobar 2000. I've been reading snippets here and there, but haven't been able to find a good complete tutorial in English.

Put your FLAC files into Foobar.Select/highlight them all.Right click and select Convert->Run ConversionIn the drop down box that appears, select the MP3(LAME) encoder.Tell it where you want the MP3 files to be placed.

That should be that. You can go more complicated by opening the preferences and looking under the Components->Diskwriter settings.

Foobar can recreate a directory structure on another disk/location fairly easily. Depending on what you current structure looks like, this might work:my structure is:flac/artist/album/artist-album.flacmp3/artist/album/tracknum-artist-title.mp3 files
